Can I leave Bangkok airport during a 10-hour layover while traveling from Singapore to Frankfurt?

Alain ***********

I did it many times on the way from Cambodia to Europe.

BUT you do need a boarding pass for each flight. If it's a single ticket and a technical stop, you won't be able to check in so be careful

What should my Thai wife do if her ThaiPass application has not been processed after 48 hours?

Alain ***********

I applied yesterday for a flight next Saturday. Had the 3 qr codes ready. All smooth. Got an instant confirmation AND the Thai pass a few seconds later.

Tbh it's also the 4th time since December so I knew the drill

How can I bring my girlfriend from Thailand to the Netherlands?

Alain ***********

completely off-topic because they are not married. It's next to impossible to bring a southeast Asian girl into Europe. In short she needs to prove that she will come back to Thailand. They will not believe anything that is not backed by a ton of evidence.

What are the experiences of using Agoda for hotel bookings?

Alain ***********

Same here with Agoda. Duplicate booking as the first attempt was"declined" using PayPal. Then I rebooked the exact same room with a credit card. Then I found out about the double charge. Hotel told me to contact Agoda. No reply yet. PayPal will "check with the hotel". Both PayPal and Agoda are risky.

Dont buy insurance just for that. Get a year-long policy that will also give covid coverage. I'm paying 150€/year for mine

How can I apply for a Thailand Tourist Visa while in Cambodia?

Alain ***********

I'm in BKK and want to go to Cambodia for a couple of weeks as well. Cambodia is easy enough but coming back to Thailand is a real hassle with their 2 quarantine PCR tests. Such a nonsensical requirement.
